Natural Looking Dentures-Pontiac, MI

Making use of dentures to replace missing teeth is not only great for your oral health; it’s a fantastic method to look and feel more youthful!
Life just isn’t all that it can be for individuals whose smiles are missing teeth. If you’re missing out on teeth, you probably don’t eat in public, and you may not be able to chew the crunchy, chewy foods important for a healthy diet plan.

If you have several teeth or all teeth missing on the upper or lower jaw, full dentures might be your finest choice. Partial dentures, which can be either fixed or removable, are great for persons who have numerous missing teeth scattered along the upper or lower jaw.

Just as with your natural teeth, dentures require everyday upkeep. With routine wear and tear, your dentures can last 5-7 years. During that time, you might require periodic denture relines to accommodate changes in the shapes of your mouth. Routine denture relines include resurfacing the base to guarantee that your dentures fit and work perfectly. If you break your dentures, it’s critical to bring them to your dental expert for expert denture repair service.

What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is surgically anchored into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge in place. The benefit of using implants is that they don't rely on neighboring teeth for support and they are permanent and stable. Implants are a good solution to tooth loss because they look and feel like natural teeth. Implant material is made from different types of metallic and bone-like ceramic materials that are compatible with body tissue. There are different types of dental implants: the first is placed directly into the jaw bone, like natural tooth roots; the second is used when the jaw structure is limited, therefore, a custom-made metal framework fits directly on the existing bone. How do they work? Strategically placed, implants can now be used to support permanently cemented bridges, eliminating the need for a denture. The cost tends to be greater, but the implants and bridges more closely resemble real teeth. Can anyone receive dental implants? Talk with your dentist about whether you are an implant candidate. You must be in good health and have the proper bone structure and healthy gums for the implant to stay in place. People who are unable to wear dentures may also be good candidates. If you suffer from chronic problems, such as clenching or bruxism, or systemic diseases, such as diabetes, the success rate for implants decreases dramatically. Additionally, people who smoke or drink alcohol may not be good candidates.

Benefits of Laser Dentistry?

What are the benefits of using dental lasers? There are several advantages. Dentists may not need to use a drill or administer anesthesia in some procedures, allowing the patient to enjoy a more relaxed dental experience. Laser procedures can be more precise. Also, lasers can reduce symptoms and healing times associated with traditional therapies; reduce the amount of bacteria in both diseased gum tissue and in tooth cavities; and control bleeding during surgery. Are dental lasers safe? If the dental laser is used according to accepted practices by a trained practitioner, then it is at least as safe as other dental instruments. However, just as you wear sunglasses to protect your eyes from prolonged exposure to the sun, when your dentist performs a laser procedure, you will be asked to wear special eyeglasses to protect your eyes from the laser.

Am I a Candidate For Dental Implants?

Generally speaking, if you have lost teeth you are a candidate for dental implants. It is important that you are in good health, however, as there are some conditions and diseases that can affect whether dental implants are right for you. For example, uncontrolled diabetes, cancer, radiation to the jaws, smoking, alcoholism, or uncontrolled periodontal (gum) disease may affect whether dental implants will fuse to your bone. It is important to let your dental surgeon know all about your medical status (past and present) together with all medications you are taking, whether prescribed, alternative (herbal) or over-the-counter.
